James Cummins, following the
occups&on of painter here in
town, recently got on jamboree
and brutally assaulted the wife Of
his brother Harry, at whose house
he was stopping, the brother being
absent His treatment Of the wo-
man was SO outrageous that she
was compelled to seek the protec-
ton of neighbors and the interfer-
ence of a constable, who arrested
the brute and put him in jail, At
his examination before the justice,
the evidence showed Cummins to
be a man of the most brutal in
stincts, and it is wonder that his
brother possessed sufficient self-con-
troll to let justice take it's course.
The hearing resulted in Cummings
being held to await the action Of
the grand jury, and will wind up
with a well-deserved term in the
penitentiary. The sooner such a
class Of men are secured the better
it is for any community.
On last Monday night while Ed.
Cowley was returning from the
springs with bus load of passen-
gers, he met with a mishap that
gave him fine chance to display
his ability as a driver. While
coming down the steep grade at the
smelter, one of the horses, a bronco,
became fractious and demoraiized
the entire team. Seeing that 60
ing over the grade was inevitable,
Ed, proposed doing the job up in
fine style. He swung the leaders
down the bank, and although very
dark, the bus landed right side up
with care on a pile of wood. The
passengers were a little nervous
but thankful over their safe deliv-
erance, and did not mind the walk
into town. The bronco has been
fired from the bus team.

Two more Chiamen were found
floating down Snake river near
Almota on Saturday last. They
are, no doubt, some of the same
crowd that we made mention of last
week, who were murdered up the
Snake.
Many of the families who were
compelled to move from their homes
during the first raise had moved
back before the second came; then
they were again compelled to move
out. They will wait this time until
the water goes down to low water
mark.
Auditor Hattabauh received from
e. P. Doris, of Pennington, box
containing {, ,4S3 squirrel scalps and
one cayote scalp. This is the lar
gest number of scalps that have
ever been sent in for bounty.
These scalps, at the bounty allowed
by law-four cents apiece-will
bring Mr.. Doris $219.32. On the
1ath day of July the commissioners
meet in this city, and they are the
only officials who, by law provided,
are allowed to count these scalps,
and not the auditor and recorder,
as many are of the opinion, and all
scalps should be delivered to them.

CHALLIs MESSENGER.

A remarkable accident happened
to al. Noland recently. He got
onto a colt, which had been rode
but a few times, to exercise him,
and when about a quarter of a
mile above town, the animal ran
against the trail wagon of a loaded
ten-horse freighting outfit and turn
ed it upside down. The trail had
on $500 pounds of freight. He
was riding with Felix Rheinbold at
the time, directly toward the wa
gon, on the side of the road from it
at strong pace-when within a
few feet Of it, his horse struck
Felix's horse on the hip, knocking
him sideways, and then against the
hind end Of the trail wagon, turn
ing it over like top. The remark
able part Of it is how could small
sized horse turn a loaded wagon
over and strike it from the direc-
ton that this one was struck.

BOISE REPUBLICAN.

What we need is reduction works
which will extract the precious
metals from our ores. If we had
such works 800 people could find
employment in extracting ore from
lodes within twelve miles Of Boise
City, and hauling it to the works,
besides the outlying districts within
100 miles would ship their ores to
to it and find a ready market.
Why should not Idaho have reduc-
ton works? Utah has reduction
works, and her mineral resources
do not compare with ours. Omaha
has reduction works and not a
pound of ore within a thousand
miles. Works will, without doubt,
soon be erected at some point in
Idaho.

it passed from under him, leaving
him swinging in mid air. In this
position, our informant states, he
was compelled to hang at least
twenty minutes, until the boat
made another circle of the eddy,
when by watching the course Of the
boat and moving backward or fore
ward on the cable, he made it pass
directly under him, and with one
of his feet caught up the rope at
tached to the boat and tied it Sc
curely to the cable. He then drop
ped into the boat, fixed his oar
lock and pulled for the shore.
When it is known that the ferry is
only about three hundred yards
above the falls, which arc 210 feet
in height, and that no living being
could possibly pass over them with
out instant death, the predicament
in which Mr.. Jett was placed will
be fully realized. Several persons
watched him from the shore unable
to render any assistance.

ALBION TIMES.

There seem to be q few of the
newspapers in the Territory which
are so intensely blinded with self
conceit that they consider them
selves beyond improvement by the
formation of press association.
This class of journals are not only
egotistical beyond measure, but
they are also, majority of them,
traitors to the territory. They fa-
vor annexation and segregation, and
would rather see the country 60 to
hill than lose their grip as mon
opolists. The people, who are in
variably opposed to annexation,
should refuse to support in any
measure the class of journals which
are secretly and openly seeking to
aid Senator Stewart in his scheme
to divide the territory. If we cam
not now enter statehood under the
banner of prosperity, let us remain
a territory and wait until we can.
The day is not far distant when
Idaho can buy and sell Nevada,
and why under heaven we want to
be whipped in and our progress
ruined by few Nevada schemers,
we are unable to see. Senator
Stewart wants free transportation
furnished senators and congress-
men so they can travel over the
country, as he is doing, and back
cap various sections to suit their
political ambition. We must do
something, and that soon, to offset
the influence this Nevada schemer
is bringing about. The press is the
natural representative of the peo-
pie, and they look to it for protec-
ton. There are many other rea-
sons why the press of Idaho should
hold a meeting and organize an as
sociation, which it would be better
and more appropriate to discuss at
the time of meeting. A great
many papers favor the proposition
and there are some who don't, but
they are of class who "would
kick if they were going to be hung"
The Bellevue Herald, however, fa-
vors the proposition, and suggests
that every territorial newspaper
send a representative, and that
such papers at once inform the edi-
tor of the Times, and that he in re-
turn give a list of those desiring
We would rather
some one else would take hold of
The matter, but, however, if left to
us we will do all in our power to
make the meeting a success. If
twenty or more of the newspaper
men of the territory will join in
this important call, we will make

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-A year

from the United States government a
submarine cable would be laid from San
Francisco to Australia by way OF the
Sandwich Islands and FIJI, and as moth
ing could be received from this govern
ment. the projectors went farther north
and selected the Vancouver terminus of
the Canadian Pacific railway as the
American landing place of the cable.
Audley Coote, of Tasmania, managing
director of the cable company, arrived
in this city yesterday en- route from
London to Australia, and in speaking of
the prospects of the company he said:
"We will touch at Hawaii and Fiji,
having secured substantial subsidy of
S4OO, 900 per year from the Canadian,
Hawaiian and Australian governments,
of which Hawaii contributes $40, 1000
wear. The total cost of the Pacific sub.
marine cable will be $40, 900, and
the project is now on an absolutely firm
basis, and will be pushed through.
Everything has been prepared and the
company is registered as required by

for land. Gov. Pattison asked the wit.
ness to ascertain and report to the com.
mission what amount of money the
company would have paid in taxes
if it had patented all lands TO
which it was entitled as soon as the
survey was made. Erastus Young,
auditor, testified as to certain rebates on
refunding appearing on the CompaDy's
books, Gov. Pattison took up some
ems in detail and asked for an explana.
tion of them as these questions disclose
the names of the parties to whom these
rebates and funds have been made.
Poppleton contended it was in
the improper line of examina.
tion and would simply advertise through
the press the dealings of the Company
on the matter of rebate, and as this
would hurt the company, he objected to
giving such information before the re-
porters who were present. In the dis.
cussion which ensued Gov. Pattison
with some warmth remarked that there
should be no star.chamber proceedings
about this Commission. 1t adjourned

THAT SHOOTING.
No Woman Directly CONNECTED
with the Case.

The correct solution of the shooting
which occurred on Saturday night at
the corner of Fifth and Main streets,
has probably been arrived at. 1t will
be remembered that the only difference
between Mr.. l.. N. Stewards and Homer
G. Katzs statements, as published in
yesterdays HERALD, was in relation to
the woman in the case. Mr.. Stewart
and Mr.. Katz came together yesterday
and the result arrived at was that there
was woman at or near the scene, but
that if she had any connection with the
case, it was with the man who attempt.
ed to rob Mr.. Stewart. 1t was asserted
that she had walked down Main street
in the rear Of Mr.. Stewart and had ar
rived ON the scene just as Mr.. Stewart
had backed into the street and had fired
his last shot at the robber. Mr.. Stew.
art then made bee line for his home
and the woman probably being fright

street from the direction whence she
came. The colored man who was men.

City, passing the ranch of j. W. Ven.

ranch, formerly the Bixby dairy, and
then passes west of Buffers dursery on

near Center, passing across it about
twenty feet east of the line running
north and south through the center of
